Any crabs in the tank?
I have had a couple of pieces that started to stn, not sure why but probably was from emerald crabs contantly picking at it.
I caught them in the act.
I removed most of them.
I have beed dosing kz flatwormstop and it stopped the stn and corals have never looked better.
I dose to help the corals and not to eradicate flatworm, i have none.
I have dosed for 45 days and will continue for the recommended 3 month minimum.
Colors appear better too with no other changes.

Will do, testing params right now. Ive had a pocillopora have polyp bail out and it recovered completly: But i want to play it safe.
I have i think 3 blue leg hermit crabs and a blue porcelain crab. I do suspect i might have some pest because my digi wasnt opening. But after a wc it opened up. My lps are opening fine. Ill look into dosing the flatworm stop
Alk 8.6 up from 8.1 a few days, calc 440 mag 1350. Sal 1.026. Phos .09 nitrate 5ppm. Im just wondering is this flatworm bites on my acro i thought it was stn after it got stung by some xenia. And didnt know how to fix it. All my other sps are growing. Its very confusing
One night I noticed the hammer coral had a tenticle outstretched about 6 inches all the way to an sps and there was a very small piece of tissue missing. I didn't think anything of it and went to bed. Woke up and 1/3 of the sps was dead. Had to break apart the whole thing to save a few pieces. Real bummer. Should have dealt with it immediately.
dang hammer just did it again to a goni this week. Luckily no tissue loss....

Possibly. Someone with flatworm experience could offer some advice.Alk 8.6 up from 8.1 a few days, calc 440 mag 1350. Sal 1.026. Phos .09 nitrate 5ppm.

Could be from hermits too as I find mine climbing into acros from time to time.

I can’t really see what you’re talking about on the birdsnest? On that other coral, I don’t think those are AEFW bites, but that looks like an angry coral. Is it STNing from the base up? Can you get a clearer pic? At the base, I can see some organge-ish brown which makes me thing AEFW eggs, but the pic isn’t clear enough to tell.
Even if you did have AEFW, it wouldn’t affect your birdsnest because birdsnest isn’t an acro.

Ai prime running ab plus, the acro had been stung by xenia a few months ago but never recovered. I re tested my alk because i thought i spiked it with a wc yesterday but its 8.5 up from 8.1. The birdsnest is directly underneath the ai prime. While the acro isnt directly. Im considering doing a icp test just to see if there is something that shouldnt be there. On the brightside, i saw my firefish for the first time in a few months. He looked very fat idk what he has been eating.
